Hotel Panama GardenA solace at a sad time

Polgara2

Submitted on 22-05-2016

Excellent value. I travelled to Rome due to a sudden family bereavement, so this was traumatic time made easier by the friendliness and empathy shown by the staff. So, a refuge ay a difficult time. The hotel was spotless, with a comfortable bed and nice soft pillows. We too enjoyed the complimentary pastries when returning back to the hotel.
I would certainly return in happier times when I can relax and enjoy the marvels of Rome.

Everything about the hotel was good.
We had a lovely room with a terrace and the breakfast buffet was excellent.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and recommended a local restaurant that
we used all three nights.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rome.
It is very good value for money and is a small very well run hotel.

We arrived a bit early and the room was ready. The hotel is located about 20-30 minutes from the main bus/train and coach station (Termini).
We found the room small and kept bumping into the tv. The bathroom was a reasonable size.

As an instructor of leaders, I could easily see her wonderful leadership style keeps this place running like a well-oiled machine. She had Mauricio retrieve us from the airport in a moments notice even though we had not planned it ahead. What a life-saver!

There was a bar in the hotel but I'm not sure that it opens as we didn't see anyone behind it during our stay.
The surrounding area of the hotel isn't very picturesque. You're quite a way from the centre of Rome, it is walkable but takes a good 30 mins at a decent pace to reach Barberini. You can catch either a 63 or an 83 bus (to the centre) about 5-10min walk from the hotel. We got a 48 hour metro pass that cost â?¬12.50 each. The time starts from the first time you use it on the bus and you can use any bus, I also think you can use the trams with it too.
The hotel can arrange a limousine service for the airport, it cost us â?¬55, the airport is about 45mins from the hotel.

Breakfast was filling and included eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, yogurt, meats, cheeses, and breads. The beverages and pastries in the lobby throughout the day were appreciated. We had a couple of minor issues with our room (e.g., leaking AC), which were immediately addressed by the staff.
The hotel is several long blocks (about 10 minutes) from tram and bus services that can take you to edge of the central city area with the major sites. If the weather hadn't been over 95 degrees every day, it would have been a pleasant walk. As it was, we ended up taking taxis to/from our destinations so that we weren't completely worn down by the heat.
It was a very pleasant stay. Just be prepared to walk a bit to reach transit services and/or to pay for taxis.

Hotel is located on the outskirts of the city in a residential district with shops and local restaurants which were excellent. Travel into the city was via regular bus service, 5 mins walk from hotel taking 15 mins into the centre. Used taxi's several times due to the heat â?¬10-â?¬12 euros each way.
Hotel could have made better use of the bar area in the early evening, happy hour would have been welcome but bar service was available if you asked.

The hotel only provides breakfast, no other meals. We ordered room service which arrived on time, however, it was ordered for two with scrambled eggs and hard boiled eggs - one plate of scrambled eggs and no forks arrived. Upon asking we were told there are hard boiled eggs. We also had to ask for a second plate and some forks - not sure how they expected us to eat the scrambled eggs???
We also ordered one pot of decaf and one pot of regular coffee. When they arrived there was no way of distinguishing them.
It's a shame about the room service as otherwise this has been a very pleasant stay.

Go down to the corner turn right and the bus stop is there on the right. There is also a tram service which is excellent.
We went to the beach for a day . San Marinella. It was beautiful. The train was air conditioned and really comfortable. It cost â?¬9.0 return . Watch out for pick pockets!!

The Panama Garden is a 4 Star Hotel that exceeds its rating. The staff are friendly and efficient. The room was clean and up to date. The breakfast offered enough choices to have variety over the five nights we stayed. It is a healthy 35 minute walk through the beautiful Villa Borghese to the Spanish Steps or Piazza Populo. If you are not into walking so much, the train and bus are nearby. We followed the staff's recommendations for local restaurants and were happy we did.

This was our fifth visit to Hotel Panama in Rome, a city we have lived in for a time, and loved for nearly two decades. Now, when we visit for a week or more we always book Panama. The location alone is perfect for anyone wishing to enjoy some tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of centro storico. Equally, the area is well-served with buses conveniently less than five minutes walk away, and direct into Termini, Monte Savello, and other places of interest. We always book an executive room, in fact we have a favourite room but we're not telling you it's number! Exec rooms come with good sized terraces complete with table and chairs, and many plants that add to the beauty of this already exquisite oasis in Rome. We cannot praise the staff enough. Without fail they assist with any request, from helping book trips, trains, entrance to sites. They are multi-lingual and we've witnessed their attentiveness to a broad spectrum of people. The hotel will suit families, couples, and business travellers alike. The all day long coffee, tea, cake, water in reception is a great treat especially after a long day pounding the streets of Rome. Breakfast is superb with something for every diet, even those who normally suffer in hotels that serve only carb and sugar burdened pastries. There is a constant supply of hot food as well as the traditional pastries, cereals, fruit, cold meats and cheese. Delicious! If I could, I would return tomorrow. Being situated opposite Villa Ada is just one of the many advantages of staying just a little way out of town. The only problem we had was having to leave too soon. Enjoy your stay! We will be back!

The hotel room was compact but very nicely decorated with big comfy bed and air con. There was a nice big patio to sit out and the bathroom was fine- big sink, small shower! We were offered refreshments on arrival and also had some fruit and prosecco in the room, which was very welcomed! The hotel is nice and quiet which I understand is hard to find in Rome and there are some restaurants and cafes in walking distance with great food- which mostly opened in the evening at 7:30pm. We are returning in a few months because we found the hotel such good value for money and very pleasant and convenient. Tax was â?¬6pppn cash on departure.

The staff was very efficient and friendly, and were always ready to order us taxis to the Termini in the city centre ( essential in the scorching heat of late June) or direct us to bus stops. They also recommended lovely restaurants for our evening meal within a few minutes' walk of the hotel ( again a great service after a hard day sightseeing in Rome).
One nice touch - complimentary coffee ( and the cakes and pastries left over from breakfast) on our return to the hotel in the late afternoon!
Yes, the hotel is two kilometres from the city centre, but the peaceful setting just across the road from the Borghese Gardens more than compensated. And the value for money was excellent! Just Â£500 for 5 nights in the hotel and BA flights from Glasgow to Fiumicine Airport.
I unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend this hotel!

Breakfast was a buffet that had a good selection of cold meats, cheese, breads, pastries, cereals and cooked items. A lovely terrace to sit and eat that was sheltered from direct Sun, a cool oasis. The hotel is not in the centre of the city, but still a vibrant area with plenty of places to eat and just two blocks to the bus stop to get into the centre. Over the road is a lovely park, with a cafe, if you want to relax away from the hustle and bustle. On checking out, we were able to leave our bags until such time as we were going to the airport. All in all a wonderful hotel, especially as it was so inexpensive. I wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

Otherwise there is the Metro which we took and is about a 20 minute walk. There are two lovely restaurants near the hotel and you will not be disappointed with the price or quality. I love Rome and would recommend this hotel even though slightly away from the Centre. Thanks to the staff from the minute you arrive they make you feel welcome and give you a map to help you on your way! One advice make sure you drink lots of water!!!! Enjoy your holidays.

Got a good city break deal with BA here, hotel is adequate for what you need, clean and tidy, staff helpful, we had b&b so you're up and running as soon as you leave the hotel every morning, do you homework on location though as you're out of town here and will need to use bus or tram everyday to get into the thick of Romes sights, location does not provide too many restaurant choices in the evening so eat before you come back is our tip.

Journeys to main tourist areas took about 20 to 30 minutes and cost is cheap, â?¬1.50 for a 100 minute ticket or â?¬7 for a 24 hour pass. Receptionists were great at advising bus routes and restaurant locations.
From the outside the hotel looked quite grotty and run down but the inside has been renovated in the past few years and was very pleasant. Lobby area decorated with antiques and complimentary water, tea, coffee and pastries on offer. Our hotel room was lovely, slightly small but we didn't mind as it was decorated in a modern style and had a/c. Bathroom was great and had a very relaxing rain shower! We were also given complimentary bottles of water in the mini fridge everyday at no extra cost!
Breakfast was served each morning downstairs in what I'd describe as an extension of the lobby rather than a dining room. Continental breakfast including cooked sausage, bacon and eggs. Each morning we were greeted by a friendly waiter who brought us cappuccino. The outside area was lovely and shaded for a nice al fresco meal.
Although the location is a bit away from the tourist areas it also allows you to explore what it's like to be a local. Some really nice restaurants nearby with great value menus as well as easy access to Rome's second largest park with hiking/walking paths and lots of nature - including clear lakes with fish and turtles. Also some nearby shopping.
Overall a lovely, comfortable and relaxing hotel away from the hustle and bustle!

This was my third stay at HPG in the lovely Via Ada neighborhood in Rome. If I were to write a general review about the hotel, it would match all the other terrific reviews about friendliness of service, lovely surroundings, a friendly bill, etc. However, this time I am filled with gratitude for the lovely team at Hotel Panama Garden. This was my boyfriend and my first time traveling with a baby, and after leaving the hotel to catch the train to the airport, I discovered my diamond engagement ring was missing. We called right away, and were assured that the ring was safely stowed until we could devise a plan. The hotel manager went above and beyond to research a jewelry shipping company and provide us a quote. As luck would have it a friend of ours was also traveling in Rome at the time and was able to pick it up for us, and the hotel ensured her identity with proper ID. I am now reunited with my ring and I couldn't be more grateful. After what could have been a devastating end to our trip, it proved that people (even Romans!) are honest and caring. Thank you HPG!

Me and my girlfriend stayed at the Panama in mid July 2016. When we arrived the staff were very welcoming and let us check into our room an 2 hours early. We had a standard double room on the second floor. We were really pleased with cleanliness and presentation of the room. It was spacious and nicely modern. The bathroom looked quite new, the shower was particularly good with a rain fall shower head.
On our first night out in Rome I proposed to my girlfriend, thankfully she said yes.
Obviously we were already loving our time in Rome at this point but it was made even better when we returned to the Panama. The man working behind reception was more than happy to serve us a bottle of champagne even though the bar opening hours were long past. When we told him why we were celebrating he instantly offered he bottle for free which was a really nice gesture. I quietly asked him if there were any rooms we could upgrade to for the rest of our stay and for the price. He told me a few rooms would be available from tomorrow and when I asked the prices he said not to worry, it's our gift to you! Couldn't believe that was actually something that could happen and not just something you hear about.
The next day he showed me 3 rooms and I decided to go for a top floor room with a terrace, it wasn't as modern but the extra space and terrace went down really well with the future Mrs.
Over the next few days many of the staff congratulated us, gave us a few more drinks on the house and generally made us feel really special.
The look of the hotel and the fact that Bridget Bardot stayed there (there's a picture in reception) is reason enough I think to stay. But for me the staff were main reason I'd return to The Panama Garden.
They are very accommodating, they'll order taxis, book excursions and arrange car or scooter hire at a lower price than going direct.
If we return to Rome there's only one place we'd stay.

The room was very clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly (to the point i got cold!). The only thing I would say is the walls seem to be thin in some places and you can be awoken from this.
The breakfast was lovely with a mixture of breads and cereals with fruit and yogurt. There was even some cooked bacon and eggs! The also do food throughout the day if you ask for it but we did not find this very nice as the pizza was very salty!
There is a city tax which needs to be paid which is 6eruos per person per night so ensure you put that money aside when budgeting!
The hotel is quite a way out of the city so you need to be prepared to walk and catch buses however they are very easy to use and its worth it for how good the hotel is. The only downside was we had to come back for a shower before going back out for dinner as it was so hot and there are not many restaurants close by as the hotel is set in a residential area.
Overall a fantastic stay!!!

Breakfast each morning was served in a beautiful shaded garden terrace and the food on offer was just right, catering for all tastes, Towels and bedding were changed each day and the air con was really efficient, Nothing seemed too much trouble, all day chilled water,tea, coffee and cakes were available should you return for a break, Complimentary chilled water was provided in our rooms and we were even offered breakfast in our room on the balcony at no extra charge, The hotel is a trek from the centre and it is a good idea to plan metro, bus and tram stops before you leave, We found some lovely restaurants near the hotel and enjoyed eating here rather than in the city. In summary we highly recommend the hotel, we all enjoyed our stay so much and would like to say a big thank you to all the staff, it was a pleasure to meet you all.

The staff are really nice and helpful. The hotel is about 30 mins by bus into central Rome and they recommend you catch the 63 or 86 bus (5 mins walk from the hotel), but we found the buses took ages to come so we walked 10 mins to the Piazza Buenos Airies and caught the 19 tram to Policlinico metro station...sounds long, but honestly was much quicker, as the trams and metro are much more regular than the buses. Buy your transport tickets from the tobacconist opposite the bus stop (it's on the way to the tram) ...1.5 euro per ticket per journey (you have 100 minutes to complete your journey with as many changes as you need...we went from the hotel to Ostia Antica for 1.5 Euros each...bargain!). Look out for the lovely Bangladeshi shop near the bus stop for cheap beer, wine, fruit etc.
The hotel is very close to the Priscilla Catacombs (closed throughout August) and cannot be faulted. Air conditioning was excellent, fridge with complimentary water in your room and cleaned/towels changed every day. We (mum and dad) had a small terrace to sit out, on, but kids didn't (ha ha) but had a bigger room. Wi-Fi worked fine most (but not all) of the time In the room.
Look on the internet for tips on how to avoid the queues at the famous ticketed sights (we did and it saved us hours of time). We found the Campo dei Fiori our favourite eating place, just a little less touristy than Trastevere. Look out for the inspiration for 'Assassins' Creed' in the centre of the square.
So it is a bit out of the centre, but it's quiet, lovely and Bridgette Bardot stayed here, so what more do you want?

We arrived late, so by the time we finally got to our room it was nearly midnight and to be honest I was not impressed with the room which was a standard booking. The next morning my husband spoke to the staff at the reception with the request for a room upgrade and he was planning to pay for it. To our surprise we were given a really nice room, with a spacious modern bathroom, a separate walk in wardrobe at no additional cost. All the staff we met at the reception were always so welcoming and supportive, they gave us clear directions and within a day we could freely move around via bus, metro or tram using the map they gave us with no problem. The distance to town and the key sites were maximum 15 mins and another advantage is the hotel is located in a quiet, safe residential area. Oh yes, breakfast was nice, a mix of continental and English breakfast. They also helped us organise a dayâ??s excursion for the Papal audience, visit to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel and arranged airport drop off for us. We would love to visit again and would definitely recommend you to our friends.

My phone was stolen on the Tuesday, but because I had no other means of communicating with family at home I was unable to do much about it, but the staff tried to help, by letting me call my family free of charge and even emailed as well. Network is not good and my daughter said she did not receive the email, but it was sent. The fact that they made a huge effort to help was customer service beyond the call of duty. I cant thank them enough. Travel to this hotel, is a bit awkward at first, as it is at least two to three miles from the city centre, maybe a bit more, but if you get the hang of the buses and trains, it is a doddle. I can say that we will be going back to the Panama Garden as the stay was very enjoyable.

Clean and tidy, cosy air-conditioned room, with matching decor, comfortable beds, clean black-out floor length curtains, complimented by floor-length cream voile curtains. Beautiful big 3-piece bathroom suite, plus shower at variable consistent temperatures.
We were on the first floor and windows open in full with bars for safety and security.
Room contained fridge with complimentary water, plus bottle opener.
Other soft drinks drinks provided free on request.
Breakfast was great - served from early morning to 10.30am. A huge selection of choices catering for everyone.
Lovely, clean, cosy breakfast room.
Marco on morning Reception was supportive with advice and assistance.
All staff friendly and helpful.
The hotel is away from the centre of Rome in a partly shops / partly residential area but transport system is good and buses are regular (maximum 20 minutes), trams are also close by; all leading to the Metro system and centre of Rome.
The walk from the hotel to the bus / tram stop is enjoyable - less than 10 minutes.
Hotel Panama, without doubt, earns its 4 stars!
It made for an even more enjoyable holiday in amazing Rome!

To start with the positives....the room was spotless....we were very happy it was so clean. I appreciated how lovely the man was at check in despite us arriving at midnight. Each night on our return to the hotel after our days sightseeing he was pleasant and friendly. I appreciated that although there was no iron in the room my clothes were ironed within 10 minutes of asking. The location was not central by any means but as I've lived in Rome before I think it's better to stay in a residential area and therefore I'd recommend this area. The tram was reliable. The metro is very slow and should be avoided. The pillows were perfect and amenities provided were very good. The wifi worked very well.
The negatives. Breakfast was beyond awful. After the first morning we did not eat in the hotel again. I'd read the reviews and thought people had over reacted but actually it was probably the worst breakfast id ever experienced. The room was really large which was great but had practically no furniture in it at all which was very strange indeed. The furniture seemed tired and old and was a strange mismatch (except the bed and side tables which were ok). It was just....odd. The bed was very hard indeed and both myself and boyfriend woke each morning in pain. We almost considered leaving the hotel because of this. Finally I was not happy about having to pass over my credit card information via email for an airport taxi when I was paying in cash on arrival. Here in the UK it is NOT common practise to do this. If they wanted the money upfront then it should be done via a secure online system.

The manager was unfortunately under pressure dealing what seemed like complaints. She failed to listen to me about booking taxi in advance to attend a wedding - we then had a helpful member of staff but had the booking been made sooner we could have negotiated a better price. But this was not done by the manager.
On our check out we also had poor service with the taxi. We suggested a time but were told it only takes a few minutes but this again was wrong and we were waiting for over 20 mins.
There are better hotels and this is dated.

The hotel is not huge, and it is on a very busy road so can be a bit noisy at the front. It was a good 15 minute walk to the nearest public transport, and is some 30 mins by tram from places such as the Vatican. However, we found ourselves walking back quite often, as it is easy. (About an hour from Spanish steps)
The buffet breakfast was basic and exactly the same each day, so only suited to short stays.
I loved the staff here, and the hotel was clean and comfortable, but if you are not prepared for some serious walking, one nearer the centre of the City may be easier.

Thanks Rosalba for sorting out our return trip Overall we both agree that our needs were very well catered for at this hotel and would recommend it without reservation.

Fantastic experience, hotel spotlessly clean and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Lots of advice from staff about local attractions and transport links. Super breakfast, would most certainly recommend and i would visit again.
Lovely welcome of tea, coffee and snacks and sweets at reception desk were also very tempting.

Located about 40 minutes walk or 15 minutes bus ride from the main attractions. Cosy hotel but more 3* than the 4* described. There is no restaurant and the rooms are very small. The Executive room was only about 10' x 10' although it did have a nice patio.
Don't go down to breakfast too late as the food ran out and was not topped up.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Recommended for able bodied adults only due to it's distance from the centre.

This was my second visit here, and I'm booking another stay for this spring! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! The hotel is very nicely decorated with an outside sitting area, as well as several inside. The breakfast was awesome! We were able to easily take the bus or trolley into the city center and Vatican City with little trouble after getting excellent directions from the staff. And the price was great!

We booked this hotel after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and stayed for a week. All the staff are friendly and helpful, and reception gave us some ideas of places to visit other than the traditional. They also recommended places to eat which didn't come with the tourist price tag. We walked from the hotel into the city and back again and it was nice to get back to the hotel with coffee and cake ready in reception. The hotel is comfortable and clean.

perfect small hotel, ideal for short tourist stay. Outside city centre but close to bus/tram route into main city areas. We took the bus into the city in the morning (1.50 euro each) and a taxi back in the evening (10 to 12 euro).
The hotel is a fair distance from the airport but they provide a transfer taxi service if you book in advance (55 euro). A taxi from the airport rank is 100 euro.

The rooms are well presented, clean, tidy with good bed, clean linen, towels and air con. Bathroom is adequate but could with refurb as although clean, marked with age. There is a mini fridge with free supply of both still and sparkling water, large tv with Sky.There are no views from the rooms as it is in a residential/business area.
The continental breakfast includes everything you would expect plus scrambled eggs, sausage and fried parma harm. There is no evening food but they seem happy for you to bring a take away and use the restaurant area where there is a small bar.
In the reception area there is complimentary tea,coffee and cake available all day and a supply of local and international papers.
Highly recommended if you don't want to be right in the centre of the city.

We have just spent 5 days at the Panama, the staff were very helpful and no matter how many questions my darling other half put to them they all replied with a smile. This goes a long way, the last thing you need is a miserable receptionist or a stroppy waiter.
The young man with the american accent that covered the night shift was polite and gave us recommendations where to eat etc. The lady during the day, Rosalba, was very approachable and again helpful and pleasant. The hotel itself in our opinion is due an update. The bathroom was outdated with a few broken bits and pieces, i.e. shower holder, plug socket next to sink. The room we had was at the front of the hotel and with the lack of double glazing was very noisy, the Italians love a car horn.
There was a total lack of heat and when this was pointed out we were told to use the aircon. I told the gentleman that I thought it was dangerous to use because it had obviously not been serviced for quite some time. We decided to overlook the heating situation as we were only using the room for a few nights.The young lady that cleaned our room was very good, clean towels every day fresh bed made and any clothes that we had left lying around were neatly folded away. The breakfast was as to be expected, all geared up for mainland Europe, no problem with that, when in Rome. We did have the choice of a sort of full English, it was enough to get us through to lunch time. If the few negatives were addressed it would make this an ideal place to stay. All in all positives did outweigh the negatives.

The breakfast we had every morning was great, huge variety of continental and cooked breakfast and all buffet style. We thought initially that the hotel seemed a little far out but this wasn't the case at all! We are young and fit so walking everywhere wasn't a problem for us, it takes around half an hour to walk into Rome Centre. However, the bus stop is just around the corner which is just as easy to jump on and only takes around 10 minutes. We found the buses quite confusing so make sure the hotel staff explain how to buy tickets etc!! We had a lovely stay and was exactly what we needed in a hotel. It was definitely walking distance into Rome if you don't mind wearing your walking shoes!! Enjoy :)

The bathroom in particular was very nice. Whilst my girlfriend freshened up, I returned to the reception to ask for restaurant recommendations and explained what we were hoping to do during our stay. Every restaurant we tried through his recommendation was excellent. Some local to the hotel, some local to the sights (but off the beaten track so less tourists).
When we returned to our room after our first evening out, a bottle of complimentary red wine had been left for us as it was our anniversary (something I must have mentioned in passing) which was very much enjoyed. They run a luggage storage service for your day of departure which allowed us to fully enjoy our last day in the beautiful city of Rome. I could not recommend this hotel more and would happily stay again.

You can walk to the bus stop for the bus 83 for 25 minutes to the train station to get about anywhere including the Fiumicino airport BTW. the bus in 10 minutes will pass by the coliseum area.

The last time me and my wife went to Rome, we did not have a good time. Stupid arguments! I was anxious to replace those memories with good, new memories. We booked a package holiday through British Airways and this was the hotel at the top of their recommendations. Hotel Panama Garden is a big part of those good memories. We Brits are pathetic with foreign languages so, thankfully, all the desk staff at HPG spoke perfect English. Probably better than most English people! As soon as I touched the sturdy door, I knew the hotel room would be good. It had a lovely, old-fashioned bathroom with a bidet and, although the shower was enthusiastic and soaked the room, I managed to point the flow downwards! The TV showed UK news, which I appreciated, and the bed was comfortable. We slept well! The breakfast was tasty and plentiful and, on the nights we decided to stay in, the front desk ordered us take away pizza! The location of the hotel is a 10-minute cab ride from the centre but it's clearly a ritzy area, with expensive shops and some spectacular restaurants! Would we go back there again? My wife will never forgive me if we don't!
